Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I install the system myself?

A: Yes, with the easy-to-follow instructions that come with the Trex® RainEscape® system, a pair of scissors, utility knife, staple gun and caulking gun are all you need to install the system in one or two hours on most decks.

FAQs

Q: Can I install this over an existing deck?

A: Yes, but the existing deck boards must be removed while you install the Trex RainEscape System.

Q: How do Trex RainEscape’s prices compare to other similar systems?

A: Although Trex RainEscape is a unique water drainage system it costs less than the nearest competitor.

Q: How durable is the Trex RainEscape System?

A: Made with durable plastic and Ultra Violet inhibitors, the Trex RainEscape system will be protected from the sun, snow and rain.

Q: How do you clean out the debris?

A: There should be very little if any debris that enters the system because it has to be small enough to fit through the decking. Small debris simply passes through the system with water.

In the rare case that there is some build up, simply remove the piece of decking over the affected area and clean as needed.

Q: Is the Trex RainEscape System affected by freezing temperatures?

A: If the system is installed correctly any water that is caught drains out through the downspout in a matter of seconds. With no water remaining in the system, freezing is not an issue.

Q: What are the overall benefits of the Trex RainEscape System?

1. It protects the structural integrity of your deck 2. Easy to install 3. The Trex RainEscape System allows you to create an indoor environment outdoors underneath your deck. You can install ceiling fans, speakers, video electronics and furniture that will all be safe from the elements.

Q: If I run into problms, is there a number I can call to ask questions?

A: Yes go to our website @ trexrainescape.com or 1-800-BUY TREX

Helpful Tips Snow build-up Snow will sit on the decking and, as it melts, will run through the system.

Leaves If leaves and debris accumulate in the troughs, a standard washing or a hard rain will clean out the system.

If the tape will not stick In areas, such as the perimeter, brick or stucco, where the Trex RainEscape tape will not stick, use the Trex RainEscape caulking to adhere the material.

Caution Do not splice trough material. If the trough material is spliced it must be replaced. Do not try to repair any damage with the Trex RainEscape tape.
